August 26, 2014 Leaks, golf and bugs


Tuesday August 26, 2014

 What a busy morning watching critters.  Now, I am in the little house that moves and I must take a bath.

 

Hannah has been having a problem.  The carpeting right by the dining area is wet and it won't seem to dry.  Spouse originally thought it was due to a heavy rain we went through and maybe the seal was not good.  But there hasn't been a rain for days, we have a fan on the wet spots, and it isn't getting better.  I think there is something going on.  Dr. Spouse to the rescue.  He takes apart this, then looks there.  Then he finds it.  There is a leak in a riser.  Since we were kind of planning on leaving Cape Breton today, this sealed the deal.  No chance of finding the part here, so we readied Hannah for departure.  Someone told us about an RV repair place in New Glasgow, and it is right on our path, so off we go.

Cape Breton is beautiful, but it is remote.  Mainland Nova Scotia is more likely to come to our rescue.  Stone RV... you can't miss it...  Yes you can!  At least if you are coming from the east.  But we found it, and they did not have the part.  They referred us to a plumbing store.  As we leave, Spouse did not know which way the plumbing store was.  Really?  You didn't think to ask?  Argh... We stop at another place and they give us directions.  Spouse got a part, and it seems to be working.  Only time will tell.

We leave the main highway and turn north on hwy 106, then get on to hwy 6 west.  We decide to cruise the Northumberland coast on our way to Prince Edward Island.  Our goals was to get within 100 km of PEI so it would be an easy drive.  Didn't quite make it...  Around 150km from PEI, a campground in the Tatamagouche Bay with ocean views threw itself at us, plus gave us a discount at golf, and we succumbed.  I know, I know... we played golf just yesterday.  But hellllooo!  That was yesterday and this is today!

It is only a 9 hole course with killer views of the bay.  The course is better than a cow pasture, but not by much.  But the holes were not easy.  If you overhit on this hole, you are in the bay.  Spouse found that out.  And the bugs that bite need to be figured in as they definitely affected my swing on a couple of occasions.  I have blood marks on my leg from where I swatted the little devils.  Even with all that, we enjoyed ourselves.  The manager told us we could play as many holes as we wanted, and that we could help ourselves to the ice chest with water and gatorade.  But we called it after nine to enjoy our campsite.  Besides, the welts on my legs are already starting to swell, why give the bugs more...


 

Back at camp, we visited with our neighbors and watched a beautiful sunset.  Life is good...
